COUNTY COURT
Report of Frank Shisler, Stark
County Recorder
According to the monthly report of
Frank J. Shisler, Stark county recorder, there were 5741 chattel mortgages filed in that office during June. In
addition there were 628 deeds with a
total consideration of $549,789.31 and
363 real estate mortgages with a total
consideration of $853,290.54. Mortgages on real estate cancelled aggregated $1,055;570.56. Fees earned for filings and recordings amounted to $3 -
238.10.
During the past three years the recorder's office has experienced a very
noticeable increase in the number of
papers -filed and recorded.
This report indicates that there
were approximately 10,000 more chat*,
tel mortgages filed during the first six
months of this year than the same
period in 1934, which clearly shows the
remarkable pick-up in retail commodities. The cancellations of chattel
mortgages are also keeping pace with
those filed.

The month of June was another record breaking month for new and used
car registrations. Bills of Sales for
new cars numbered 1211 and for used
cars 4582. Total fees collected were
$1,842.25. ,
Following is a camparison of the
figures f.or* the first six months of
1935 and 1936: Fees for first six
months of 1935, $7,065.00; for 1936,

Discovered Porcelain in
the Eighteenth Century
Meissen, -Germnny, owes Its great
porcelain -works, the home of Dresden
China, to a young man, Johann Bot'tger,
who started out early in the Eighteenth
century to -convert base metals to gold
and discovered Instead the secret
of making porcelain.
Imprisoned..;,% August the Strong,
king of .-Saxony, and told to produce
:gold by alchemy, Bottger went out over
the countryside digging mysterious
holes ln the ground and keeping samples Of the -earth he dug up. Then af t-
ter experiments witli these he succeeded in making a red earthenware, and
later a-white porcelain, wares that had
hitherto been obtainable only in China.
Travelers are allowed to go through
the :porcelarn works in Meissen and
view ot leisure the various processes,
ibut:ln Bottger's time the secret was so
valuable that August the Strong kept
him and his workmen virtually prison-
•ers, states :a writer 1n the Chicago
1>atly News. A century after the dis-
•covery, for instance, when Napoleon
wanted to know tlie process, the director of the works had to ask the Saxon
■elector'before lie could reveal it.
One of the finest -collections of Dresden china is iin Dresden, 1.7 miles from
Meissen. It contains ah example of
nearly every piece -ever turned out by
tlie factory, and in addition has thousands of specimens of Chinese, Japanese and European porcelains.
A lot of people wouldn't believe
their own eyes even if they could see
themselves as others see them. An
official hangman in Europe tried tol
hang himself. Probably figured it'
was time to have one on the house.
Nothing is more simple than greatness.

.Jewels Become 111? Must
Be Sent to a Gem Doctor
Jewels can become ill like people,
but, states a writer in Pearson's Weekly, jewels that have lost their lustre
•or are otherwise) "Sick" are -seldom discarded. They are sent to a gem doctor.
Emeralds, onyx, -diamonds nnd min-
■eral stones in general suffer chiefly
from slight surface wounds due to
•carelessness on the jiart of their own-
•ers. A repolishing Is necessary. The
■doctor fixes tlie patient in a metal hold-
•er .called -a "dop.-" He then .applies it
gently to a rapidly rotating iron wheel
.or ''lap,*' chared with diamond -dust
■and the stone returns to its former radiance. .
No Jewels come oftener to the surgeries than pearls. Lock a pearl awny
ie a safe or deprive it «f legitimate exercise, and it becomes -sickly looking in
no time. But tlie severest pearl casualties are, curiously enough, caused by
diamonds. Tlie Arabs have a legend
that the diamond Is an angry stone,
not to he trusted with other stones, lest
it scratch them.
They Invite Death
AS WAS to be expected, the daily
newspapers contained many articles concerning injuries and
deaths on the Fourtli of July. Children figured largely among the victims. For years The Sun lias pointed
out the danger of permitting children
to play with fireworks.
No one, of course, wishes to deprive
children of the fun in celebrating the
Fourth of July. At the same time,
one properly may wish for the fun to
be engaged in safely. So The Sun
submits for consideration by parents
some facts about celebrations of the
Fourth.
In the last twenty years the record
shows more than 80,000 victims of
Fourth of July accidents, including injured and killed.
Last year, in spite of the long campaign of education against fireworks
staged by newspapers and fire chiefs,
295 children lost their lives, most of
them on the Fourth, some preceding
and a few after the Fourth. Fireworks classed as harmless caused the
deaths of 85 persons last year by setting their clothes on fire.
Twenty-six small children died last
year of phosphorus poisoning from
N. C. PUBLIC LIBRARY
The new books placed on the
shelves of the North Canton library
as part of the summer reading project for the children of the fifth, sixth,
seventh and eighth grades are attracting a lot of attention. The opening
of the club was on July 1.
A few of the titles will give an idea
of the scope covered by these books.
Books of school-life:
Kipling, Stalky and Co.; Knox,
Patsy's Progress; Johnson, Skippy Bedell and Stover at Yale.
Animal Stories:
Hinkle, Tornado Boy, a horse of the
west; Kelly, O-Go, the beaver; Foote
Dumb-bell of Brookfield, a bird dog;
Robinson, Elephants.
Historical fiction:
Schmidt, New Land, a novel of
homesteading in Wyoming; Skinner,
Debby Barnes, trader; Page, Wild horses and gold; Lisle, Lenape trails,
early days and Indians; Rollins, Jin-
glebob,. cowboy and ranch life.
Stories foi* both older and younger
readers:
Robinson, Jack's house, story of a
post-war boy; Nash, Polly's secret, a
tale of Maine life; Hadath, Mystery
at Three Chimneys; Abbott, Harriet's
Choice; Means, Penny for Luck; Hunt,
Boy who had no birthday.
Travel and Adventure:
Kauffman, Spanish_Dollars; Doone,
eating fireworks.
As said above, no one wishes to deprive children of fun on the Fourth.
But the record from which The Sun
has taken just a few facts surely
shows the unwisdom of uncontrolled
celebrations, especially by children.
And there is this to be added. Not
only have Fourth of July accidents
continued in spite of the campaigns
of education started by fire chiefs and
newspapers, but there were more accidents in 1934 than in 1933, und more
in 1935 than in 1934.
If you wonder how the record can
be what it is in spite of safety campaigns and ordinances now common in
most communities, you might ponder
the warning issued by the National
Safety Council against the "bootleggers of fireworks," and the words of
Fire Chief Joe Smith of North Canton.
"It takes a death from fireworks or
the burning of a house to bring home
to some people the folly of playing
with danger, whether witli fireworks,
inflammable material or cheap electrical devices."
The Sun believes the warning of the
National Safety Council and the
statement of Chief Smith should be
kept in mind by every parent everywhere.

Mother Shipton
Mother Shipton, say the ancient annals, wns the child of peasant parents
named Sowthiel or Southlll, who lived
ln the latter part of the Fifteenth century near tlie Dropping well In Yorkshire. Her mother, Agatha, was reputed be a witch. Agatha named her
daughter Ursula, but the neighbors
called the girl "the devil's child." Despite tlie fact that Ursula was phenomenally ugly, says the Chinese Dally News, Tobias Shipton, a builder of
York, wed her when she was 24 years
old. Legend, antedating by centuries
the first appearance of the fraudulent
prophetic ditty, credits her with fulfilled predictions concerning certain
statesmen who flourished at 'the court
of Henry VIII, including the great Cardinal Wolsey. England, not always tolerant of witches, let her die In bed
when she was well beyond three-score
and ten. She was burled, it Is said,
at Clifton, Yorkshire, in 1501.

Ford V-8 Improved
"Important improvements in the interior treatment of Ford V-8 de luxe
and standard body types including refinements in design of interior trim
are now in production," says the Ford
Motor company.
Ip addition to the interior changes,
two new and attractive body finish
colors are made available—armory
green and light-fast maroon—which
are standard in de luxe types.
The new treatment makes the Ford
V-8 interiors substantially more attractive in the view of buyers who
have inspected the new cars, and reflects a continuance of the Ford policy
of adding such improvements whenever they become available, without
waiting for yearly model changes.
Important among the improvements
is the addition of new accessories in
the de luxe types. These include a
new sport type steering wheel with
smart spring steel flexible spokes, a
pull-wind 30-hour clock recessed in the
rear vision mirror and a glove compartment lock. Chrome bands also
have been added to the wheels.

.Jewels Become 111? Must
Be Sent to a Gem Doctor
Jewels can become ill like people,
but, states a writer in Pearson's Weekly, jewels that have lost their lustre
•or are otherwise) "Sick" are -seldom discarded. They are sent to a gem doctor.
Emeralds, onyx, -diamonds nnd min-
■eral stones in general suffer chiefly
from slight surface wounds due to
•carelessness on the jiart of their own-
•ers. A repolishing Is necessary. The
■doctor fixes tlie patient in a metal hold-
•er .called -a "dop.-" He then .applies it
gently to a rapidly rotating iron wheel
.or ''lap,*' chared with diamond -dust
■and the stone returns to its former radiance. .
No Jewels come oftener to the surgeries than pearls. Lock a pearl awny
ie a safe or deprive it «f legitimate exercise, and it becomes -sickly looking in
no time. But tlie severest pearl casualties are, curiously enough, caused by
diamonds. Tlie Arabs have a legend
that the diamond Is an angry stone,
not to he trusted with other stones, lest
it scratch them.
They Invite Death
AS WAS to be expected, the daily
newspapers contained many articles concerning injuries and
deaths on the Fourtli of July. Children figured largely among the victims. For years The Sun lias pointed
out the danger of permitting children
to play with fireworks.
No one, of course, wishes to deprive
children of the fun in celebrating the
Fourth of July. At the same time,
one properly may wish for the fun to
be engaged in safely. So The Sun
submits for consideration by parents
some facts about celebrations of the
Fourth.
In the last twenty years the record
shows more than 80,000 victims of
Fourth of July accidents, including injured and killed.
Last year, in spite of the long campaign of education against fireworks
staged by newspapers and fire chiefs,
295 children lost their lives, most of
them on the Fourth, some preceding
and a few after the Fourth. Fireworks classed as harmless caused the
deaths of 85 persons last year by setting their clothes on fire.
Twenty-six small children died last
year of phosphorus poisoning from
N. C. PUBLIC LIBRARY
The new books placed on the
shelves of the North Canton library
as part of the summer reading project for the children of the fifth, sixth,
seventh and eighth grades are attracting a lot of attention. The opening
of the club was on July 1.
A few of the titles will give an idea
of the scope covered by these books.
Books of school-life:
Kipling, Stalky and Co.; Knox,
Patsy's Progress; Johnson, Skippy Bedell and Stover at Yale.
Animal Stories:
Hinkle, Tornado Boy, a horse of the
west; Kelly, O-Go, the beaver; Foote
Dumb-bell of Brookfield, a bird dog;
Robinson, Elephants.
Historical fiction:
Schmidt, New Land, a novel of
homesteading in Wyoming; Skinner,
Debby Barnes, trader; Page, Wild horses and gold; Lisle, Lenape trails,
early days and Indians; Rollins, Jin-
glebob,. cowboy and ranch life.
Stories foi* both older and younger
readers:
Robinson, Jack's house, story of a
post-war boy; Nash, Polly's secret, a
tale of Maine life; Hadath, Mystery
at Three Chimneys; Abbott, Harriet's
Choice; Means, Penny for Luck; Hunt,
Boy who had no birthday.
Travel and Adventure:
Kauffman, Spanish_Dollars; Doone,
eating fireworks.
As said above, no one wishes to deprive children of fun on the Fourth.
But the record from which The Sun
has taken just a few facts surely
shows the unwisdom of uncontrolled
celebrations, especially by children.
And there is this to be added. Not
only have Fourth of July accidents
continued in spite of the campaigns
of education started by fire chiefs and
newspapers, but there were more accidents in 1934 than in 1933, und more
in 1935 than in 1934.
If you wonder how the record can
be what it is in spite of safety campaigns and ordinances now common in
most communities, you might ponder
the warning issued by the National
Safety Council against the "bootleggers of fireworks," and the words of
Fire Chief Joe Smith of North Canton.
"It takes a death from fireworks or
the burning of a house to bring home
to some people the folly of playing
with danger, whether witli fireworks,
inflammable material or cheap electrical devices."
The Sun believes the warning of the
National Safety Council and the
statement of Chief Smith should be
kept in mind by every parent everywhere.

Mother Shipton
Mother Shipton, say the ancient annals, wns the child of peasant parents
named Sowthiel or Southlll, who lived
ln the latter part of the Fifteenth century near tlie Dropping well In Yorkshire. Her mother, Agatha, was reputed be a witch. Agatha named her
daughter Ursula, but the neighbors
called the girl "the devil's child." Despite tlie fact that Ursula was phenomenally ugly, says the Chinese Dally News, Tobias Shipton, a builder of
York, wed her when she was 24 years
old. Legend, antedating by centuries
the first appearance of the fraudulent
prophetic ditty, credits her with fulfilled predictions concerning certain
statesmen who flourished at 'the court
of Henry VIII, including the great Cardinal Wolsey. England, not always tolerant of witches, let her die In bed
when she was well beyond three-score
and ten. She was burled, it Is said,
at Clifton, Yorkshire, in 1501.

Ford V-8 Improved
"Important improvements in the interior treatment of Ford V-8 de luxe
and standard body types including refinements in design of interior trim
are now in production," says the Ford
Motor company.
Ip addition to the interior changes,
two new and attractive body finish
colors are made available—armory
green and light-fast maroon—which
are standard in de luxe types.
The new treatment makes the Ford
V-8 interiors substantially more attractive in the view of buyers who
have inspected the new cars, and reflects a continuance of the Ford policy
of adding such improvements whenever they become available, without
waiting for yearly model changes.
Important among the improvements
is the addition of new accessories in
the de luxe types. These include a
new sport type steering wheel with
smart spring steel flexible spokes, a
pull-wind 30-hour clock recessed in the
rear vision mirror and a glove compartment lock. Chrome bands also
have been added to the wheels.
